00:01:15.000 Remember the first time I met Secret Service agents?
00:01:19.000 To be clear, many of them are wonderful people and they remain to be wonderful people.
00:01:22.000 But the first time I came in contact with U.S.
00:01:24.000 Secret Service, I was in awe.
00:01:28.000 I was blown away.
00:01:29.000 I was so impressed.
00:01:31.000 And I saw how the Secret Service was operating, and Don Jr., who I was very close with, and President Trump obviously had Secret Service protection all throughout the 2016 campaign, and then we won, and I spent a lot of time with Secret Service agents.
00:01:45.000 And I had such high trust of those institutions.
00:01:49.000 If we go back into 2017.
00:01:52.000 I used to trust largely many parts of the FBI.
00:01:56.000 I never would have thought that the CDC or the Center for Disease Control or the FDA or the Food and Drug Administration would lie to us and cover things up and manipulate information.
00:02:08.000 As we did the long march through the institutions, which of course is a left-wing phrase from Rudy Duchka, said nearly 70 years ago of how the left would capture all of our institutions.
00:02:19.000 As I saw these, as we marched through these institutions for many years, I soon realized, one after the other, the rot that our institutions have been experiencing.
00:02:34.000 The infection that is present, the tumor within the once great institutions in Washington, D.C.
00:02:43.000 And not just in D.C., but from colleges to corporations.
00:02:48.000 But the one institution that I never thought that I would have to question is the U.S.
00:02:53.000 Secret Service.
00:02:55.000 From the first time I met these agents, they were so impressive.
00:02:57.000 They put in very long hours.
00:02:59.000 They're overworked.
00:03:01.000 Largely underpaid.
00:03:03.000 I never thought that the US Secret Service would succumb to an ideological takeover.
00:03:10.000 The scariest thing with the Secret Service going bad is you know that the rot In DC is deep and that tumor is metastasizing.
00:03:20.000 Sometimes conservatives think the left is just ruining public goods while reserving nice things for themselves.
00:03:27.000 But when the personal security team of the president, which they obviously want to control and currently control, is getting ruined by DEI, lacks standards and laziness, When a left-wing president is putting his own life at risk, you know that they are totally consumed with this arsenic, with this poison.
00:03:47.000 Now understand, the Secret Service has different physical qualifications for female agents and male agents. 0.98
00:03:55.000 The old Secret Service director, the Dorito woman, who her experience was protecting Mountain Dew and Doritos, Was trying to make 30% of all Secret Service agents female. 1.00
00:04:08.000 Did you know that Secret Service requires weapon-carrying agents to take physical fitness tests every three months?
00:04:13.000 That makes sense, since the people protecting a president should be in top physical condition.
00:04:18.000 But did you know that standards are radically different for men and women?
00:04:21.000 To get an excellent score for push-ups, a 20-something male agent is expected to do at least 55 push-ups. 0.98
00:04:30.000 A female agent needs to get the same score, just 40. 1.00
00:04:33.000 I can do 73 push-ups.
00:04:36.000 Ish.
00:04:37.000 I just tested it the other day.
00:04:40.000 I should not be on the Secret Service, for the record.
00:04:42.000 I should be nowhere near the Secret Service.
00:04:45.000 For chin-ups, a male agent in his 20s needs to be able to do 11 chin-ups. 1.00
00:04:50.000 A female agent only needs to do 4. 1.00
00:04:52.000 I can do about 8 chin-ups, depending on how you qualify it.
00:04:58.000 I should be nowhere near the Secret Service, and a female agent only needs to do 4 chin-ups? 1.00
00:05:04.000 A male agent is expected to run a mile and a half in about 10 minutes. 0.85
00:05:08.000 A female agent is allowed nearly 13 minutes. 0.98
00:05:11.000 That is not even an 8 minute mile, which explains some of the overweight female agents that I saw at the event this last weekend. 1.00
00:05:20.000 I'm not criticizing them, and I'm sure that they deal with weight problems, but these were not exactly the machismo people you want protecting President Trump.
00:05:29.000 So, just to recap.
00:05:30.000 Men have to be able to do 55 push-ups in the Secret Service.
00:05:34.000 Women have to be able to do 40 push-ups in the Secret Service. 1.00
00:05:38.000 Chin-ups. 0.98
00:05:39.000 Men have to do 11 chin-ups.
00:05:41.000 Women have to do 4 chin-ups. 1.00
00:05:44.000 Men have to be able to run a mile and a half in 10 minutes.
00:05:47.000 A female agent is allowed 13 minutes. 0.99
00:05:50.000 The Secret Service is not an agency that embraces meritocracy.
00:05:55.000 And we have up on screen the Secret Service that is being cross-examined by, right now, the excellent Senator from Texas, Senator Ted Cruz.
00:06:03.000 We saw one of the female agents, and I'm not attacking her because she's female, I'm attacking her because we have relaxed standards, obviously, to try to diversify the Secret Service, which then compromises excellence. 1.00
00:06:17.000 Donald Trump got shot and Capitore died because of a diversity, equity and inclusive agenda that infected the U.S.
00:06:28.000 Secret Service.
00:06:30.000 Acting United States Secret Service Director Robert, Ronald L. Rowe, who is now testifying in front of the Senate, said that Trump got shot and Kobe died because of a lack of imagination.
00:06:43.000 It's not a lack of imagination.
00:06:45.000 It's because you have allowed ideological poison to infect your institution.
00:06:51.000 It started with us questioning the FBI.
00:06:53.000 Wow.
00:06:54.000 I never thought the FBI would sit, would spy on a sitting president.
00:06:59.000 I never thought that the FBI would launch a coup against the sitting president.
00:07:02.000 That was bad.
00:07:03.000 And then put forward the Russiagate stuff.
00:07:07.000 Then, during COVID, the FDA lied to us.
00:07:10.000 The CDC lied to us.
00:07:12.000 Pfizer lied to us.
00:07:13.000 AstraZeneca lied to us.
00:07:15.000 The Department of Education lied to us.
00:07:17.000 Our local health agencies lied to us.
00:07:19.000 They suppressed early treatment information.
00:07:23.000 Our tech companies lied to us.
00:07:25.000 Hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved with early interventions, early treatment, let alone just vitamin D supplementation.
00:07:34.000 Millions of kids lives were ruined during COVID unnecessarily and we have seen institution after institution but the one that I believe most Americans had trust in were those macho men around the president.
00:07:49.000 Whether it's a president we like or a president we despise like Obama, we want that president protected for no other reason that the established order of a civilization Cannot be thwarted or uprooted by an assassination.
00:08:09.000 Many Americans would probably say, well surely the President's security is the best of the best.
00:08:13.000 Surely.
00:08:14.000 It's a shocking realization to see otherwise.
00:08:18.000 Right now the U.S.
00:08:19.000 Secret Service Director is testifying.
00:08:21.000 This man should be fired. 0.97
00:08:23.000 He should be humiliated. 0.72
00:08:25.000 He was involved in the higher echelon of the Secret Service that created this Culture, and just so we are clear, the culture at the U.S.
00:08:34.000 Secret Service, they want one out of three of all agents to not be able to have the same physical fitness standards as men.
00:08:43.000 When you introduce diversity, you forsake excellence.
00:08:48.000 And that is the buried lead of Trump getting shot.
00:08:53.000 Diversity is not the strength of the U.S. 0.98
00:08:56.000 Secret Service.
00:08:57.000 Strength is the strength of the U.S.
00:08:59.000 Secret Service.
00:09:01.000 And I'm going to repeat and go into greater detail of what we saw on Friday when we hosted President Trump.
00:09:08.000 We hosted President Trump on Friday and our entire team independently came up to me and said, Charlie, what was that?
00:09:17.000 They said that was the most relaxed, unimpressive security that we've ever seen.
00:09:22.000 I was like, yeah, it didn't seem correct.
00:09:25.000 It was porous.
00:09:26.000 Agents were checking their phone.
00:09:28.000 It was relaxed.
00:09:29.000 It was unprofessional.
00:09:30.000 It was laid back.
00:09:31.000 It wasn't intense.
00:09:33.000 Our security team totally agreed.
00:09:35.000 They were...
00:09:36.000 Floored.
00:09:38.000 Multiple instances of some of our interns and people worked for us that had to go run and get food.
00:09:44.000 And the Secret Service agents were like, yeah, just come on through.
00:09:47.000 No wanding, no checking.
00:09:49.000 It was not a secure event.
00:09:51.000 And this is after Trump got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:09:55.000 Nothing has improved.
00:09:56.000 Nothing has gotten better.
00:09:58.000 No heads have rolled.
00:09:59.000 There has been no humiliation and no firings.
00:10:02.000 And Donald Trump is not safe with this current Secret Service.
00:10:09.000 Are you worried about the future of the U.S.
00:10:10.000 economy?

00:11:11.000 So let me tell you what happened on Friday.
00:11:12.000 We hosted President Trump at the Believers Summit in Palm Beach, Florida.
00:11:17.000 We've done multiple events.
00:11:18.000 Our events team is the best in the business, and that is an objective fact.
00:11:22.000 We host more of these events.
00:11:24.000 They are better run, better looking, better presentation, better operation than any other events in the conservative movement.
00:11:31.000 Very thankful and impressed with our team, top to bottom.
00:11:34.000 They do an amazing job.
00:11:36.000 And so we've grown used to the kind of flow of the U.S.
00:11:38.000 Secret Service and the porous, lackadaisical nature of how the Secret Service took about their job to protect Donald Trump.
00:11:47.000 And some of the agents were very sweet.
00:11:49.000 They came up, they asked for pictures with us.
00:11:51.000 They were fans.
00:11:52.000 I'm not attacking the individual rank and file.
00:11:55.000 They're nothing more than individuals that are just being used in a broader game.
00:12:01.000 And this is not personal.
00:12:02.000 This is about the protection of President Trump.
00:12:05.000 But it is very clear that from the top of the US Secret Service, there is an attitude that has infected the Secret Service that the protection of Donald Trump is not a top priority.
00:12:18.000 Now maybe it's a protection of all protectees.
00:12:21.000 But just one example.
00:12:23.000 One of our donor friends, the speech was going very long.
00:12:26.000 They said, hey, can you go run and get me some food?
00:12:29.000 I'm getting a little, you know, lightheaded.
00:12:31.000 So I said, hey, Danny, just leave the perimeter.
00:12:33.000 Can you go get some food?
00:12:34.000 They're not going to let you back into the perimeter.
00:12:36.000 But once it's over, you'll be able to get some food back in the moment that's there.
00:12:40.000 He said yes.
00:12:41.000 And so Danny goes and runs and gets some food.
00:12:44.000 Next thing I know, he's back in the interior.
00:12:48.000 How did that happen, Danny?
00:12:50.000 He's like, oh, I just walked through.
00:12:52.000 You just walked through?
00:12:53.000 He's like, yeah, they just waved me in.
00:12:55.000 Now, it could be, and it could be, that the Secret Service was trusting of us, and Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action is worthy of that trust.
00:13:05.000 However, I would not have taken the slightest offense at everybody being double and triple checked, given recent events.
00:13:15.000 And let's just be very clear, even though that turning point might be very worthy of trust, and we're very thankful for that, I suppose, it could have just been a bad guy that put on a turning point shirt, or it could have been one bad actor, or one person that is a proxy.
00:13:29.000 The protection of the president, and the former president, soon to be next president, God willing, this is not a game.
00:13:37.000 This is not child's play.
00:13:39.000 And the Secret Service is responsible with protecting the President.
00:13:45.000 But let's broaden this out.
00:13:47.000 If President Trump gets shot again, which there is no guarantee of his safety at this point, The Secret Service is tasked right now with protecting the entire civilization.
00:13:57.000 That is not an exaggeration.
00:13:59.000 If Trump would have gotten killed in Butler, Pennsylvania, if Trump would have died in Butler, Pennsylvania, what would our country look like today?
00:14:09.000 We would be in very, very bad shape.
00:14:11.000 We already know about the hundreds of thousands of liberals that were upset that the bullet did not kill him.
00:14:17.000 We have social media posts.
00:14:19.000 There were local elected officials.
00:14:22.000 Somebody I know that went into the event texted me afterwards and She said hey, you know, I got into the event I had a pocketknife and I forgot that I had it and they didn't catch it Well, that happens all the time.
00:14:37.000 They miss stuff all the time, the Secret Service does.
00:14:40.000 They miss weapons, they miss firearms, they miss pocket knives.
00:14:43.000 I can't tell you how many times attendees have emailed us and told us throughout the years, yeah Charlie, I went to a Trump event in Georgia, I forgot I had a gun on me and the metal detector just didn't catch it and they didn't get it.
00:14:55.000 Happens all the time.
00:14:57.000 Weapons on the interior.
00:14:58.000 Perimeter not secure.
00:15:00.000 Snipers, obviously.
00:15:01.000 Snipers on roofs at Butler, Pennsylvania.
00:15:03.000 And it's just the top-down attitude.
00:15:05.000 Nobody gets fired.
00:15:07.000 You have some of the most unimpressive people that get elevated to the top of the Secret Service.
00:15:14.000 The current director of the U.S.
00:15:16.000 Secret Service has denied the idea that there were limiting resources to Donald Trump.
00:15:22.000 I know for a fact that is the case.
00:15:25.000 I know that there were multiple requests for extra support and extra reinforcement.
00:15:31.000 And the current attitude right now from the Secret Service is, eh, Trump got shot.
00:15:36.000 What are you going to do about it?
00:15:38.000 We don't really care.
00:15:40.000 They just kind of shrug their shoulders.
00:15:43.000 That's what the director Howe is saying.
00:15:45.000 He said that this was because a failure of imagination.
00:15:49.000 Could you imagine in an honor-shame society that a former president gets shot and you have guys that say it's a failure of imagination?
00:15:57.000 Joining us now is Senator Marco Rubio.
00:15:59.000 Senator, thank you for the time and for joining the show again.
00:16:03.000 Just a quick reaction, if you will, from the U.S.
00:16:06.000 Secret Service committee hearing.
00:16:07.000 I know you were in another committee hearing, but this really is the viral news right now.
00:16:12.000 Any reaction to the handling of the Secret Service's events post-Butler?
00:16:16.000 Well, I'm glad to see that he said the Secret Service is to blame and isn't putting it on the local police department.
00:16:21.000 So my view from the beginning has been, knowing the threats that exist against Donald Trump from foreign governments like Iran, that the protection that they had given him was not commensurate to the threat.
00:16:32.000 And it is also, you don't have to be a security expert to know that a sniper on top of a rooftop is the quintessential, like the most risky of all threats that you face in an environment like the one that President Trump was in.
00:16:45.000 It should have been the number one priority in terms of securing perimeter and the like.
00:16:48.000 So clearly they failed.
00:16:49.000 And the question is, why did they fail?
00:16:51.000 And is that failure the result of an individual who's competent,
00:16:54.000 who sounds like they're still on the job, or is it a systemic problem within the agency
00:16:58.000 that it's basically not good at its job?
00:17:00.000 It's not doing a good enough job at catching things like this.
00:17:04.000 The bottom line is that under no circumstances should there have been a guy on a rooftop with a sniper
00:17:09.000 rifle who was known to law enforcement hours before the rally,
00:17:13.000 and no one did anything about it.
00:17:14.000 The answer to that is not to have some counter-sniper ready to take him out after he's fired seven or eight shots.
00:17:19.000 The answer is to never let him get up there in the first place, and if he gets up there, not to allow Trump to take the stage until he's removed.
00:17:25.000 And why that didn't happen?
00:17:26.000 Why are they communicating using text messages?
00:17:29.000 That's how we communicate.
00:17:30.000 That's how we protect people.
00:17:31.000 And look, whether you like Trump or not, obviously I'm a supporter of Donald Trump, but let's say someone's watching, maybe.
00:17:36.000 Maybe you have viewers somewhere that doesn't like Trump or doesn't support him.
00:17:40.000 This is about protecting the country.
00:17:42.000 Can you imagine where this country would be right now and the damage it would have done to America?
00:17:46.000 Had President Trump gotten his head blown off on national television broadcast to the world?
00:17:51.000 Can you just, apart from the human tragedy, and we already had a human tragedy because someone died at that rally and two others were seriously injured, but can you imagine what would have happened if he had been assassinated?
00:18:00.000 The damage it would have done to America.
00:18:02.000 This is unacceptable and someone needs to be held responsible and accountable.
00:18:05.000 We have to make sure that whatever it is that led to this never happens again.
00:18:09.000 We can't afford it as a country.
00:18:10.000 That's right.
00:18:11.000 The civilization would be still in chaos.
00:18:13.000 Weeks later, we would be in a place we've never been before.
00:18:17.000 Speaking of chaos, Senator, it seems as if what happens in Venezuela they're trying to bring to this country. 0.98
00:18:22.000 You represent a lot of Venezuelan Americans in South Florida.
00:18:27.000 This is an issue that I know you've been studying.
00:18:29.000 It has not been front page news for Americans, but it should be.
00:18:32.000 Can you just quickly walk through the recent events of what has been happening in Venezuela?
00:18:36.000 It is very applicable to what we're going through right now.
00:18:39.000 Well, first of all, we have to stop talking about the Maduro regime as a government.
00:18:42.000 It is not a government.
00:18:43.000 It's not. 0.77
00:18:43.000 It's a narco-terrorist organization who makes money off drug trafficking, is in bed with Iran, is like Iran's foothold in the hemisphere. 0.77
00:18:51.000 They do deals with Iran, with China, with Russia, with drug trafficking networks, and they're a disaster economically. 0.52
00:18:57.000 They destroyed the country.
00:18:58.000 They basically have just... This is a criminal organization that's empowered itself of a very wealthy country.
00:19:04.000 And so the result is 8 million Venezuelans have left there in the last decade, many of them headed here and in other parts of the world, and they've been driving that. 1.00
00:19:10.000 Trump put on very strong sanctions.
00:19:12.000 Biden comes in and says, we will lift the sanctions and we will send you two convicted drug dealers, convicted, sitting in federal prison, who are nephews of Maduro, Biden released him.
00:19:24.000 He also released the number one money launderer, someone who the Trump administration went to great lengths to have him extradited to the United States when he was apprehended in Africa.
00:19:33.000 They released all these bad guys in exchange for a promise to have free and fair elections, which they were never going to do.
00:19:38.000 Well, they stole the elections.
00:19:40.000 Basically, they won't release the precinct-level count.
00:19:44.000 Think about that.
00:19:45.000 We're only going to tell you the final outcome, but we're not going to show you precinct by precinct the outcome.
00:19:49.000 Everybody knows that he lost that election, and now the guy's trying to hold on to power.
00:19:53.000 He's laughing at us.
00:19:54.000 The Biden-Harris administration were clowned again on foreign policy and, by the way, lifted oil sanctions on them because we wanted to buy more of their oil, but we won't let our own companies produce here at home.
00:20:05.000 So it's a fiasco all the way around, and you're absolutely right.
00:20:07.000 It is another reminder that everywhere where socialism is, always winds up with the same thing.
00:20:12.000 Poverty and tyranny.
00:20:14.000 That's the result of socialism everywhere.
00:20:16.000 Look at our border.
00:20:17.000 They come from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela.
00:20:19.000 All these are socialist countries.
00:20:21.000 People flee those countries.
00:20:23.000 Why the hell would we ever want that in America?
00:20:25.000 Not to mention this is also is a story of election integrity and not having transparent elections is that illegitimate regimes try to put forward elections that do not have trust and do not have transparency.
00:20:40.000 Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:20:41.000 Is the bird flu the next pandemic?
00:20:42.000 Why do globalists keep talking about disease X?
00:20:45.000 Everyone knows the next medical crisis is just around the corner.
00:20:48.000 I refuse to lock down again or take another experimental vaccine.

00:21:44.000 The Venezuelan story also is very chilling because we've seen the response from protesters in the streets that are now just being rounded up, being shot at by this basically a military junta that controls Venezuela.
00:22:00.000 If President Trump is to win in January, what should the U.S.
00:22:04.000 response be to, as you say, this narco state that calls itself the Venezuelan government?
00:22:09.000 Well understand I care deeply about this issue and I always tell people the answer to what happens in Venezuela ultimately resides inside of Venezuela with their own people who very bravely as you said are taking to the streets and have for many years and done things about it.
00:22:21.000 But we have our national security interests.
00:22:23.000 Venezuela's an enemy, the Maduro regime is an enemy of the United States.
00:22:27.000 They buy weapons from Iran, they help Iran evade sanctions with Hezbollah, They're trafficking networks and their activity in the hemisphere is headquartered out of Venezuela. 0.65
00:22:36.000 It begins there.
00:22:37.000 The Chinese are heavily involved in Venezuela.
00:22:40.000 The Russians are heavily involved.
00:22:41.000 So all of our enemies rely on Venezuela as their foothold in the hemisphere.
00:22:45.000 They have also, because of what they've done, we never had immigrants from Venezuela. 0.99
00:22:49.000 one of the richest countries in the world. And now, you know, we have hundreds of thousands
00:22:53.000 winding up at our border. Eight million have left the country over the last 10 years. So
00:22:56.000 they've also created this migratory crisis, which, by the way, you're going to see another 0.89
00:23:00.000 two, three million people leave as a result of the stolen election. So it's creating a
00:23:04.000 tremendous migratory catastrophe. In addition to that, Maduro has exported this gang, Tren 0.88
00:23:10.000 de Aragua, which now is in the United States after terrorizing Peru and Ecuador and Colombia.
00:23:17.000 They're behind a lot of these crimes that we've seen here in the streets. These are
00:23:20.000 criminals that were criminals in Venezuela. The vast majority of Venezuelans that are 0.99
00:23:24.000 here are very decent people who don't want to live in a socialist country. But these
00:23:27.000 criminals are part of the group that's coming in. And all of this created by them, they're
00:23:31.000 enemies of the United States, about enemies of the United States. And now apparently at
00:23:35.000 war also with Elon Musk. I don't know if you saw, Maduro says that Musk will be the next
00:23:38.000 He wants to invade with his rockets.
00:23:41.000 I don't know.
00:23:41.000 The guy's a weirdo too, but Maduro is a strange guy.
00:23:46.000 He says strange things.
00:23:48.000 But look, they're enemies of the United States and we need to adjust accordingly.
00:23:52.000 And I think that Trump had put in place very powerful sanctions.
00:23:55.000 He was very tough on them.
00:23:57.000 And he never would have released those drug dealers and cut a deal like this one.
00:24:02.000 It was a terrible deal.
00:24:03.000 They got clowned again.
00:24:04.000 Biden-Harris got clowned again.
00:24:07.000 We must defeat Ms. 1.00
00:24:08.000 Harris coming up in November, and part of that is the ticket Trump-Vance.
00:24:13.000 Senator, you took to Twitter this weekend, and we were texting about it, defending J.D.
00:24:17.000 Vance against some of the very nasty attacks that were launched against him.
00:24:22.000 I want to thank you for doing that for many reasons, because it was very credible coming from you the way you did it, because you were a finalist for Trump's vice president.
00:24:31.000 And you said, look, any one of us that would have gotten selected would have experienced this type of treatment.
00:24:35.000 Yeah, there's two reasons why.
00:24:39.000 The first is they basically, that's what always makes me laugh, you know, I go back to 2008.
00:24:44.000 I remember the day after John McCain Okay, who was a darling of the media for much of his career, but the minute he became the Republican nominee, I think it was like a day or two later, the New York Times ran this scandalous, outrageous story that turned out to be discredited, that he was basically implying he was having affairs with lobbyists.
00:25:00.000 They attacked him immediately.
00:25:01.000 Think about the things they accused Mitt Romney of.
00:25:03.000 They accused Mitt Romney of not respecting women, of all kinds of things that they accused him of, of being some sort of out of touch guy that didn't like working people and so forth.
00:25:15.000 They called George W. Bush a war criminal.
00:25:18.000 So any Republican, they're going to smear, I don't care who you are.
00:25:21.000 The only difference is, you know, Trump is like the first one that kind of gave it back to them in equal measure, and they don't like that.
00:25:26.000 So whoever he would have picked as vice president, they would have, maybe there would have been different stories, but it would have been the same line of attack.
00:25:32.000 And part of the reason for that is that Kamala Harris is indefensible. 1.00
00:25:35.000 Look, here's the truth.
00:25:36.000 Go back.
00:25:37.000 Everybody should read this New York Times article, very well sourced article.
00:25:41.000 Jonathan Martin, I think, wrote it, along with another reporter.
00:25:44.000 And it talked about how Biden appointed this independent committee to help him pick a VP.
00:25:48.000 And Kamala Harris was neither the candidate who most impressed them, nor the person that the advisors on that committee thought was prepared to be president.
00:25:57.000 And then she was a disaster when she took vice president. 1.00
00:25:59.000 She was a disaster when she was in the Senate. 1.00
00:26:01.000 Huge levels of internal staff turnover.
00:26:04.000 She had this disastrous trip to Central America that led to all kinds of backbiting.
00:26:08.000 So those are facts.
00:26:09.000 And those are things that have been laid out in her career.
00:26:12.000 She ran for president. 0.93
00:26:13.000 Her campaign was a disaster.
00:26:15.000 She didn't even make it to December, I don't think.
00:26:18.000 And then she got in the vice presidency, which she wasn't the most qualified person.
00:26:21.000 I'm not saying that.
00:26:22.000 The Biden people said that.
00:26:24.000 Disaster there as well.
00:26:25.000 So they don't want to talk about it.
00:26:27.000 So she's going to get this honeymoon, where the media is just going to build her up. 0.99
00:26:31.000 And we knew that was going to happen.
00:26:34.000 But I truly believe that when all is said and done, particularly after Labor Day, after their convention, it's going to come down to something very simple.
00:26:41.000 Everything Joe Biden has done that's damaged this country, Kamala Harris was there for it and supported it.
00:26:46.000 And in fact, I would say that Joe Biden's career, for the most part, until recently, was that he was sort of like a 20th century Democrat, you know, She, the liberals, the far left, they sort of rented Joe
00:26:59.000 Biden.
00:26:59.000 They put up with him.
00:27:00.000 One of the reasons why they wanted them there for so long is because of his lack of mental acuity
00:27:04.000 allowed him to get away with things.
00:27:06.000 She's actually a real deal leftist, left-wing Democrat, who supported some of the most radical policies 0.98
00:27:12.000 one can imagine, as recently as 2020, the grant for president.
00:27:16.000 And she should be held to account for that.
00:27:17.000 We should be focused on that.
00:27:19.000 Eventually, the media will have to get to that.
00:27:21.000 But first, they're going to smear J.D.
00:27:22.000 Vance, as they would have smeared anybody else that Trump would have picked.
00:27:26.000 Can you please just tease our audience on the Act Blue story?
00:27:28.000 Your leadership on that topic has been terrific and much appreciated.
00:27:32.000 Yeah.
00:27:32.000 In the back of everyone's credit card, we get asked for it all the time, there's this code called the CBV code, and it allows you to track that account and where it's located.
00:27:39.000 And ActBlue, we use it, when Red uses it, everybody else uses it, but you can donate money, thousands and thousands of dollars to ActBlue without your CVV code on it.
00:27:50.000 And so I want to pass a law that requires that all these online donations using credit cards require a CVV, so we can make sure that that person is actually in the United States and eligible to contribute.
00:28:00.000 Otherwise, you could have some credit card in China, basically putting millions of dollars in small dollar donations, into political campaigns in America.
00:28:07.000 ActBlue has become a money laundering operation and they are, because they don't take the CVV,
00:28:12.000 it's a deliberate strategy on their part.
00:28:14.000 We should have a law that closes that. 1.00
00:28:16.000 I've been trying to get it passed.
00:28:17.000 And as you can imagine, the reason the Democrats oppose it is because ActBlue opposes it.
00:28:22.000 Because if they had to put CVVs, they had to use that code from their credit card,
00:28:26.000 their donation.
00:28:28.000 I think you're onto something, Senator, here.
00:28:29.000 I really believe that there is a flow of tens of millions of dollars of foreign money that is coming into our election system in hard money, small dollar chunks, via ActBlue.
00:28:39.000 That's just a suspicion.
00:28:40.000 It feels that way.
00:28:41.000 It seems that way.
00:28:41.000 There's too many pieces of evidence.
00:28:43.000 And I hope you stay on the case there, Senator, because I believe if we're able to stop that, the Democrats will lose a lot of their cash advantage.
00:28:50.000 Senator, thank you for your leadership.
00:28:52.000 Hope to see you soon.
00:28:52.000 Thanks so much.
00:28:54.000 So J.D.
00:28:55.000 Vance, my friend, who by the way is going to be here in Glendale, Arizona tomorrow.
00:28:59.000 I have the great honor of introducing him tomorrow at the event at Arizona Christian University.
00:29:02.000 Looking forward to seeing him there.
00:29:04.000 It's going to be terrific.
00:29:05.000 He has really set the internet ablaze because J.D.
00:29:08.000 came on our program and said, hey, we need to reverse the collapsing fertility rate. 1.00
00:29:12.000 We need to turn around this trajectory that we are not at replacement levels.
00:29:21.000 This is one of the main drivers of mass migration.
00:29:24.000 That they want to try to import the third world because we are not having our own native-born children.
00:29:29.000 We are at historically low levels.
00:29:31.000 This is a crisis, but the media thinks it's laughable.
00:29:34.000 The media thinks it is a joke.
00:29:36.000 Oh, you want more children? 0.90
00:29:38.000 I'd rather have money.
00:29:40.000 One of the reasons why we are the most depressed, suicidal, anxious, alcohol addicted generation in history and country in history is we have decided to no longer get married and no longer have children.
00:29:53.000 The existential despair that so many young people feel can be filled by getting married and having kids.
00:29:59.000 Your life will be infinitely richer.
00:30:02.000 And better!
00:30:03.000 Not easier, but richer and better.
00:30:07.000 The future belongs to the people who show up and the left is laughing as they abolish the future.
00:30:12.000 So first, I want to play Molly Jong Fast, who is attacking JD Vance. 1.00
00:30:20.000 For saying that J.D.
00:30:21.000 Vance just wants more white babies? 1.00
00:30:24.000 Now, Molly Jong is not exactly a bright person. 0.86
00:30:27.000 Does she realize that J.D.
00:30:29.000 Vance is married to an Indian woman and his son is named Vivek?
00:30:35.000 Play cut 47. The stats are there more and more Americans choosing not to have kids which again
00:30:40.000 emphasizes why J.D. Vance's comments about childless Americans, childless cat ladies,
00:30:44.000 could be so politically damaging. Well so what's interesting is this is this natalism that comes
00:30:49.000 from an authoritarian playbook right that there there need to be more white children right that's 0.98
00:30:54.000 the idea that there's you know this is about great replacement theory racism right.
00:30:59.000 This is what this is.
00:31:00.000 So don't misunderstand it for him wanting more children.
00:31:03.000 He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.
00:31:08.000 Yeah, she has three children apparently, so it's just, it's unbelievable to me that she plays into that and she's allowed on television, just allowed to say that.
00:31:17.000 Now why is it that so many people are not having children?
00:31:21.000 Well, as a little bit of a corollary, the white dudes for Kamala Harris had a meeting.
00:31:30.000 So, hey, it's only fair.
00:31:31.000 You guys get to do white dudes for Kamala Harris. 0.98
00:31:34.000 I guess we have to organize white men for Trump.
00:31:36.000 And there's a lot more of us than white dudes for Harris.
00:31:39.000 And the testosterone level will be a lot higher.
00:31:42.000 This is a perfect example.
00:31:43.000 I couldn't think of a better example as to why our fertility rate is collapsing. 0.73
00:31:47.000 If you want just a clip as to the Kamala Harris regime, it is this- Now, it's not Jack Dorsey.
00:31:55.000 For the record, this is not Jack Dorsey, okay?
00:31:58.000 This is not- You heard me again?
00:32:00.000 This is not Jack Dorsey.
00:32:01.000 Play Cut 49.
00:32:03.000 And that happens at the same time as the myths around America that we grew up with, that we as men are expected to be protectors and providers, are going out into economy that doesn't really allow for that, especially for working class folks.
00:32:19.000 And sort of like compounding on that, you know, masculinity as a trope has been co-opted by the MAGA right into something that feeds into and exacerbates the loneliness epidemic, as well as the mental health crisis that many face that end up leading to really destructive behaviors.
00:32:36.000 We aren't the only ones that are hurt by these things.
00:32:38.000 Black and brown people, LGBTQIA plus people, especially trans women and indigenous people.
00:32:45.000 This guy just embodies the infertility crisis.
00:32:49.000 The whole white dudes for Kamala Harris Zoom call was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. 0.99
00:32:56.000 These are sad excuses for men, one after the other after the other.
00:33:00.000 Oh yes, I'm so masculine because I'm a white dude lecturing you about LGBTQI+.
00:33:06.000 Yeah, masculinity has been co-opted by the MAGA right. 0.96
00:33:09.000 Well, no it's not.
00:33:10.000 It's that men want to be men and they don't want to be blurred with women and they want a masculine society again.
00:33:18.000 Hey, but guess what? 0.96
00:33:20.000 The cat women are very mad. 1.00
00:33:22.000 They mad. 0.68
00:33:23.000 Play cut 45.
00:33:24.000 I am a childless cat woman, but I'm happy!
00:33:28.000 I'm happy.
00:33:30.000 Bring laughter on, you know?
00:33:33.000 Yeah, what is your message to Vance?
